Do you know about Farm Boys Rugby? Well, Hayden Bradbury does! Just ask him. Hayden was the Man of the Match on Friday night. Under adverse circumstances, Hayden played his first varsity minutes, logging FULL minutes in the last 2 matches. The team started with 1 sub and ended the night with 7 players. Hayden played without fear, improved, and gave everything he had. Way to go, Hayden!!!
Congratulations to this week’s Pirate Competitor of the Week – Drew Koenigs. Drew had a great week for the baseball team.

On the mound, he started the conference season strong, pitching six innings with seven strikeouts and the win against Warren Stockton. Coach Ty Hartman said, “Drew has helped us get off to a good start this year. He has been bringing great energy and focus to practice and each game.”
